"..."
Chen Shu's eyes widened, then he silently took out his phone and played a recording of Qin Tian.
"There are nearly a hundred Kings in the country. What impact can the few you killed have?"
"Kill as much as you want! If anything happens, I, the principal, will take full responsibility!"
"Be bold, show your strength to your heart's content! Don't hesitate, the principal is your solid backing!"
"..."
Qin Tian's face was full of black lines. You're playing this game with me, huh?
Chen Shu hadn't expected this outcome either. Deploying three Beast Emperors was no small matter...
Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said:
"You, get to Dragon Abyss City with me and explain it to the old man. I can't quite explain it myself."
In fact, he was also scared. Chen Shu was an important figure now, and at least he could share some of the burden...
He originally thought Chen Shu was just causing a little trouble,
but this stunt had directly caused the entire Dragon Abyss to riot.
The old man didn't want Chen Shu to stay in Dragon Abyss in the first place because he was worried it would prematurely unite the major Beast Emperors.
But this guy, even though he wasn't in Dragon Abyss, was still able to do it. It was truly heaven-defying...
"It's fine, don't worry too much."
Wang Ce appeared quite calm and said faintly:
"The ferocious beasts will attack sooner or later. It makes no difference whether they come now or later. It might even be to the old man's liking, as it can weaken the ferocious beasts' strength in advance."
"Hmm... That makes sense..."
Liu Feng nodded beside him and said, "It's not a bad thing anyway, it will come sooner or later."
"Principal, let's communicate."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and said, "If it suits the old man's wishes, then I'm the mastermind. If it ruins his plan, then you are the mastermind."
"This way, the division of labor is clear, alright?"
"..."
Liu Feng and the others turned to look, their expressions exceedingly strange. You're truly shameless.
"Bullshit!"
Qin Tian directly gave him a rap on the head. You're thinking pretty nicely, aren't you? Taking all the benefits.
"Do you guys have anything else to deal with?"
He looked at the others and said, "If not, let's all go to Dragon Abyss."
"We're all free."
Everyone smiled and headed together to the Dragon River in the central region.
Dragon Abyss City didn't need them. The ferocious beasts from other spatial dimensions were all trembling and naturally wouldn't cause trouble.
As for the criminal organizations on Blue Star, there was even less to say; they had completely disappeared.
Half an hour later, the group arrived beside a spatial passage deep within Hua River.
Coincidentally, Chen Shu also saw an acquaintance.
"Ling Chen?"
He spotted Ling Chen's non-mainstream red hair at a glance.
"Huh? Chen Shu?"
Ling Chen was slightly startled, turned his head, and also saw Chen Shu at a glance.
Then, his expression was shocked, and he quickly said respectfully:
"Principal, you guys..."
He hadn't expected so many important figures and secretly wondered what had happened.
"Little Ling, long time no see..."
Qin Tian smiled, with a hint of praise in his eyes.
Before Chen Shu arrived, this guy was the number one genius of Huaxia Academy, adorned with all sorts of dazzling halos.
It was only because Chen Shu was too heaven-defying that Ling Chen seemed a bit ordinary, and fewer people paid attention to him.
At this moment, Qin Tian showed a hint of surprise and said:
"Huh? You're Gold Three-Star now?"
"Luck, just luck."
Ling Chen smiled slightly, appearing quite humble, without the arrogance of his younger days.
Clearly, Ling Chen had also experienced a lot over the years. Not only had his strength improved, but his personality had also become much more reserved.
However, his eyes were still spirited, maintaining the mindset of a genius, not having changed due to his environment.
He seemed to be biding his time now, and perhaps with just one opportunity, he would astonish everyone.
"Not bad, not bad."
Qin Tian nodded and praised, "This generation truly has a lot of geniuses emerging. It seems we're getting a bit old."
"Alright, what's with the感慨."
Liu Feng shook his head and said, "Since it's on the way, let's go see the old man together."
He hadn't taught Ling Chen, so they weren't exactly familiar with each other.
The group stepped into the Dragon Abyss passage one after another.
Ling Chen, however, drew closer to Chen Shu and said kindly:
"Junior, I heard you're now the number one of the Gold rank. I underestimated you back then."
"Senior Ling is too kind, it's all talent, just talent."
"..."
Ling Chen's expression froze, then he chuckled wryly.
He seemed to recall something and said, "Speaking of which, back then, because of Bai Yang's matter, there was some conflict between you and the club I founded."
"Senior, this has nothing to do with you, and it's all in the past."
Chen Shu shook his head, not really caring too much.
He and Ling Chen neither had the camaraderie of geniuses nor any intense conflicts; they were merely acquaintances and had never had much interaction.
However, this was normal. There was an age gap between the two of them,
and one was from the Imperial Dragon Guard, while the other was a fierce bandit with an Imperial Dragon Guard armband...
"That's good, I don't want any rift between us."
Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "The situation is critical now, and the future will depend on us to stand up. Maybe we'll even be teammates fighting side-by-side in the future. At that time, I hope you can look out for this senior."
"Of course, we both came from Huaxia Academy."
Chen Shu nodded heartily, then lowered his voice and said:
"I'll give you an 80% discount on protection fees!"
"..."
Ling Chen's mouth twitched. He always felt that this guy's thinking was on a different wavelength from his own...
As the two were talking, the group had already arrived in Dragon Abyss City.
The surrounding buildings were ancient and magnificent, giving a feeling of stepping from modern society into a primitive era.
And in the center of the city, there was still an exquisite pavilion.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered in the plaza in front of the pavilion, seemingly waiting for something.
"Chen kid!"
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu was slightly startled and saw a silver fox looking at him with a smile.
"It's you?!"
Chen Shu immediately remembered. It was that King-level Three-Star contracted spirit that mastered space powers.
That being the case, its owner must be...
Chen Shu's gaze shifted to a man standing beside the silver fox.
The man was about thirty years old, with delicate features, giving off a gentlemanly aura.
"Brother Ning."
Qin Tian quickly greeted him, his eyes filled with respect.
"You've arrived?"
The man's gaze was steady, sweeping over everyone,
but his focus was primarily on Chen Shu.
Some people, just by standing there, possessed a magical aura...
